Thanks for the advice...I am commited to the 12 wide tank, as I don't have much room in my office for a tank....I'm thinking something of the aquascaping route like towers of rocks, and maybe building a live rock arch in the tank between two rock islands...something like that... This is the...

I'm looking at a light fixture from them that houses there PC's....So I guess I should be okay. Does anyone make a fixture for just a MH bulb, to add later? thanks again shane

Thanks for the advise... Shane

I'm new to the saltwater aquarium game, but am taking my time building all the necessary components to try and up my sucess rate. LOL I have started collecting everything since April. I'm building this for my office at work...Tank dimensions are: 36x12 and 24 High. I have been told that with a...

Cool, thanks for the tips. I have found a shop that is only a few hours from me and he said he keeps about 600 lbs of live rock on hand at all times and that I could hand pick through it to get what I want..so maybe I'll end up with some cool looking rocks for the aquascaping....

36x12x24 are dimensions. I just want my first tank to look cool, so trying to get some ideas from the experts here.... shane

Thanks for the tips, what do you guys think about long pieces of tonga branch reaching to the sky? or stacked pillars? I'm just trying to think outside the box, and since my tank is 24" tall I figured I'd need something to help fill the void since I can't do to many fish I'm finding out in that...

I have seen people that let the rocks touch the glass, and some say that isn't a good idea, what gives on this??? Also, I would like to try and make a rock arch in the tank since I have a tall display tank. What is the best way to go about this? I have herd of drilling holes in the rocks where...

I don't understand the adding a uncooked raw shrimp. I know it decomposes to boost the cycle, am I correct? Also I have not gotten a clear answer on when you put it in, and for how long before you need to take it out. Thanks a million shane

I have no real attachment to the chromis...just read that they are best for starting a tank out.... If I took the chromis out do you feel that is a good stocking list? Or does anyone have any other suggestions on some fish I should look at? I am open for ideas, just want to make sure they will...

Okay, here is what I was thinking to start out with: 3-5 green chromis clean up crew early in the stocking stages 2 false percs 1 sixline wrasse 1 flame angel 1 royal gamma 1 firefish goby (maybe a purple) I also really like the tangs, but I don't think I have enough tank even for a small tang...

I have my stocking list lined out, I will find it and post it in a little while. I may be all out of wack on what I thought I could and couldnt do. Be back in a bit. Thanks guys shane

I have been doing some reading of different books, and the one that seems to be the most accurate to what I have been reading and browsing the forums here, says that for stocking purposes it is usuall okay to take the: gallons / 2 = the total number of inches of fish you can stock Does anyone...

Thanks for the reply. I just want the smaller fish so I don't have to worry about them taking up to much space in the tank at first.

I'm trying to finish up getting my tank and equipment set up. My first order will be some Green Chromis to have a small school of them, but under your menu of fish, it says they are 1-2 inches in size. Is there any way when I make an order that I can try and get the smaller fish? I would rather...

Thanks for the reply and info.... I will post a question over in the ask SWF forum...

My initial thought was doing a small school of the green chromis...but when I was searching through SWF I saw the blue reef and thought they looked good as well. Also, I really want to get smaller ones, and the Greens from SWF say they can be up to 2 in... Do you know when I order if can...

For my first fish in my tank I'm working on getting up and running...I'm thinking 5 small damsels to start getting everything going... Do you think Blue Reef Chromis or Green Chromis for a small school of fish to kick it off.... I would like the Greens..but they don't seem to be real...

Thanks, I appreciate the answer to my question. shane

If you get a nice mated pair of clowns, be it whatever might be the most sucessful at reproducing, is it possible for them to reproduce in your display tank with out any special attention? Or would you other fish just make meals out of the fry if they actually did hatch? Also, if they lay eggs...
